WHAT TO EXPECT

Introduction
Are you visiting our office for the first time? It’s helpful to know what to expect.

Chiropractors want to do everything possible to help relieve their patient’s symptoms quickly and with as few treatments as necessary. He or she needs to understand as much about why you are there to determine the right course of treatment for you.

In initial consultations, the doctor will tell you more about your condition and recommend an approach to care. Feel free to ask questions. As in any doctor-patient relationship, trust and understanding are very important.

A typical visit to a chiropractor includes an information intake, the chiropractic exam, treatment, and a follow-up plan.
